  • Berating the Listeners

    Hey free listeners- I’m sure you’ve been berated here because you’re just listening to his free shows and not paying for his Patreon. Well now he’s berating the paying Patreon listeners because they don’t leave enough comments after his shows. Because the comments are the only way he gets his ego stroked. However if you comment something he doesn’t like he blocks you. You can’t win with this insecure manchild.

  • S.O.S. The SS Benza is Sinking

    “We”re all the same guys. We’re all the same.” AJ Benza. - No we’re not. Some of us are sober. Some of don’t live in the past. Some of us have teeth. Some of us aren’t self obsessed and have matured beyond 16. Some of us aren’t broke. Some of us don’t embarrass ourselves on a daily basis. Some of us are not in denial. Some of us are not garden variety, pathetic self obsessed, sniveling alcoholics. Pray for his kids.
